Morphology

expose = ex + pos

The computing sense is a specialized extension of the established verb and is not morphologically recoverable for learners from any transparent English base.

Etymology

Expose comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out' and ponere 'to place', the same root as position. So in computing to expose a service is to 'place it out' for others to use, making an internal feature available outside.
